In Flanders Fields Museum
In a country where war was fought, it lingers, even if that war is already a century behind us. For each of the more than 600,000 dead who fell here, for each of the more than 425,000 graves and names on memorials and for the hundreds of traces and relics in the front region, for each of the millions affected (physically or psychologically wounded, refugees and displaced persons) there is a story of suffering, pain and ordeal somewhere in the world.
The City of Peace Ypres and the In Flanders Fields Museum conserve the link with the war past. Because it is important for those who want to speak about peace and war today.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. We never had a map or itinerary so we were kind of in the dark as to what we were doing. The guide skipped the museum entry, which was included in the price. Lunch wasn’t until 2:15. All in all, we enjoyed it and learned a lot, but it was very expensive compared to some other day trips we did.

The tour guide, Henry, was knowledgeable and articulate. The driver, Adel, was competent and went the extra mile in delivering us to a return destination we had not planned. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.
